    Not enough batting in the tail !!!!

    So what do we do? Pick 11 batsmen to try and Draw Test matches (at best) or do we pick Bowlers who can take 20 wickets to Win Test matches and risk the chance of not scraping through for a draw?

    Simple,
    Agar 6/10
    was not up to scratch for TEST cricket.
    Siddle 9/10
    is our first picked every time and rightfully so!
    Harris 8.5/10
    is absolute Quality and I for one hope he can play out the rest of the back to back series       without missing a Test to injury
    Starc 7.5/10
    is dangerous to both teams, he can be wayward but is just as much chance of winning test matches
    Lyon 7.5/10
    is acceptable, takes wickets, learns from mistakes and tries his guts out. (Personally I think Australia havn't won on this tour because Lyon isn't there to sin the team song!)
    Pattinson 8.5/10
    a quality find, but sadly now injured.
    Bird 8/10
    A good tidy bowler, keeps one end tight and has very good control.
    Faulklner 7/10
    Seems a good prospect for the future, Player of the Shield final proves he is good for Big game situations.

    Edit history
